What’s Oozing out of Campuses Is Polluting Society

In a 1989 article in New Republic, Andrew Sullivan made what he called “a (conservative) case for gay marriage.” Today same-sex marriage is legal everywhere in America, supported by majorities of v**ers and accepted as a part of American life.
Now Sullivan has cast his gaze on what he regards as a disturbing aspect of American life — the extension of speech suppression and “identity politics” from colleges and universities into the larger society. The hothouse plants of campus mores have become invasive species undermining and crowding out the beneficent flora of the larger free democratic society.
Sullivan can be seen as a kind of undercover spy on campuses, to which he is invited often to speak — because of his bona fides as a cultural reformer — by those probably ignorant of the parenthetical “conservative” in his 1989 article. As Jonathan Rauch did in his 2004 book, “Gay Marriage,” Sullivan argued that same-sex marriage, by including those previously excluded, would strengthen rather than undermine family values and bourgeois domesticity. That now seems to be happening.
The spread of campus values to the larger society would — and is intended to — have the opposite effect.

Take the proliferation of campus speech codes. Americans of a certain age have trouble believing that colleges and universities have rules banning supposedly hurtful speech. They can remember when campuses were the part of America most open to dissent. Now students are disciplined for handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution outside a tiny isolated “free speech zone.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, known as FIRE, keeps a tally of campus speech restrictions and challenges codes and actions that violate the First Amendment (in public institutions) or private schools’ own commitments. Its 2018 list of the 10 worst colleges for free speech includes Harvard, Northwestern, Fordham and the University of California, Berkeley.
Campus administrators have infamously declined to restrain or rebuke mobs of student “social justice warriors” who press to block conservative speakers and violently protest if they dare to appear. Examples include Charles Murray at Middlebury and Ben Shapiro at Berkeley. Students at Brown asserted that conservative columnist Guy Benson isn’t covered by the First Amendment.
The result, says Sullivan, is that “silence on any controversial social issue is endemic on college campuses” and, he adds ominously, “now everywhere.” Last year, Google fired engineer James Damore for writing an internal memo that the CEO, with pathetic dishonesty, characterized as bigoted.
There is increasing evidence that Google, Facebook, and Twitter — whose leaders flatter themselves as enablers of free communication and neutral disseminators of information — are suppressing conservative opinions as “f**e news.” Those aware of campus life will not be comforted with the knowledge that the decisions about what gets downplayed or deleted are being made by “social justice warriors” recently hired from campuses.

Cold did you get to high school?

Ever since the homosexuals have taken over psychiatry and rammed through policies practically shouting "It's normal" our society has been degraded. Look at our spy vs spy politics withing the organization of the FBI? Hoover himself was one of these perverts. Sexual perversion will bring down a society and eventually destroy it. The history of mankind is on the side of this statement. All colleges and universities must replace their board members who are sympathetic with perversion and Marxism. This will begin the "cleaning up process" of the classrooms that are now occupied with perverted-minded professors.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

Congratulations, you hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, in todays society you are not allowed to say what you just did. You are also not allowed to tell the t***h-that a large number of people, particularly boys go through a period when they are same sex attracted, but become opposite sex attracted as adults. That fact, and the fact that 80-90% of children with g****r dysphoria become comfortable with their g****r as being the same as their sex by the time their adult hormones have fully kicked in.. If you were a teacher and dared say that, you might very well be fired, or at least reprogrammed.

It is a shame that trolls like you have no ability to add anything of value to any conversation. Who and what is paying you to insert moronic cartoons in conversations to disrupt the flow of ideas?

I am a what would be a normal heterosexual person. I think!

I would say the attention to homosexuality is being used to divide us as individuals.

There is by nature a mix up in the X'S & Y's.

But I say the issues is one of, it is all part of a new fad to question one sexuality.

It will only become a real problem if we let it be a problem.

Most of us are heterosexual & it is the those family's that provide the basic soundness of society.

Father Male! Mother Female.
No matter how good of a father you are.
You can never be as good as the mother should be.
No matter what we have done of try to do to take away from that.
Should only be a minor diversion.

It is a big wide World with room for many different view points on life.
As long as most can agree on a good set of core beliefs we will do all right.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD NOW WITH THOSE CORE BELIEFS TO SET US ON THE BEST PATH FOR OUR FUTURE.

I am trying to make it my task to help bring out those Sound Core Beliefs.
I say that all of us on this site have those core beliefs we need to see.
It is man kind's need if not his destiny to create the WORLD into the best system to survive & prosper in.
A system where each individual has the chance, opportunity & freedom to be a v***l part of it all.
Each having Rights & Responsibilities.
